Annoying load times aside, I can't fault ModNation Racers for the nearly perfect package that it is, and for that reason I feel safe in proclaiming Sony's masterpiece the best kart-racing title in the history of gaming. Period.

Little problems like this, however, barely even make a scratch on this beautifully fun, frantic, deep and deliberately tongue in cheek racer, which manages to deliver all the fundamentals of a world class karting game as well as throwing in a shed load of brilliant features and the odd innovation here and there.

It's just a shame that that success had to be tempered by a somewhat overenthusiastic approach to the unpredictability inherent in the genre.

Fun great game, seems like a cross between CRT and Mario Kart But different:) so many customisational options, create your own character, or Mods, as well as your own tracks and karts:) Spit screen (great fun in 2), online, offline game modes:)… Expand

A popular game following the "Play, Create, Share" concept pioneered by LittleBigPlanet to add its own spin on the kart racing genre. The end result is a game that offers the player a brutal single-player campaign with cheap enemy A.I. and long load times (even after the latest updates). The community itself rarely shows original designs in both character and kart creations. Then again, you probably shouldn't expect much with a game being marketed, if not completely dominated, by a younger audience. Skip this and go for LittleBigPlanet 2 instead.… Expand
